Sooo... I haven't been around in ages :S I'll nevertheless be doing a couple of minor updates in the main post given heroku is changing their payment terms, and the domain of the main website for showcasing this and other hacks of mine will change. What comes to updates to Pokemon Dark Energy...

Thank you! :) I sure will continue it. The concept is actually quite different from many other hacks. There are 8 gyms out there, but you don't challenge the leaders in order to gain badges or become a pokemon champion. Some gym leaders are mandatory to be beaten, but visiting most gyms is...

Yes. Discord server would be right here: https://discordapp.com/invite/rcSNRRr

Everything is well :) And thank you! I could come back, but I really don't feel like spending that much time hanging around. Plenty of other stuff in life besides rom hacking. Sorry! One month late here to reply, but in beta 4, you were supposed to get a Page from Neal, but that's no longer...

I might have interpreted the survey wrong, but I thought you were planning to create a survey in order to find the correlation between people who make rom hacks, and those who play them. Given the survey was about answering both these questions, it would be possible to plot the results in a 2D...

Thanks :) I'm not so sure about HotY, and I don't care much about it for that matter either. But I would like to see more people trying Dark Energy out. There are plenty of pokemon hack players out there who most likely ignore DE just because it's a gen II rom hack. At the same time, DE has also...

Hi, The hack is probably around 70% done (yet it will take me a few years to complete it I believe). The main quest is quite long as it is, and the length is comparable to original games by Gamefreak. And along with the main quest, you can spend plenty of time working on different sidequests if...

Pokemon Dark Energy Beta 5.01 is out! This release doesn't have any other changes, but it removes the bug that caused the game to freeze played on My OldBoy emulator in player's room. Some new features have been in development along the way though, but I intentionally left them out of this bug...

I can't really help solving this problem directly. But have you used git for version control? If you have, have you committed changes you have done to your hack often, and pushed them to your remote repository which should be a fork of pokecrystal? If you have, you could try to backtrace the bug...

Nope. But if you join Dark Energy server in Discord (or simply find me there), you can contact me there. I have ini-files for a tool called Poketext which can load text data from various parts of the rom file. Those ini-files should cover way over 95% of the in-game text. With Poketext and the...

If you study and lear z80 assembly, this shouldn't be that difficult of a task to accomplish. I don't remember an exact address, but I believe there is a main routine in rom bank 0x1 (between 0x4000 and 0x7FFF) which handles the whole intro sequence process. If you take a look at the rom map...

I'm hosting the hack as in IPS patch file. You can't run the IPS patch directly via an emulator, but what you can do is to "patch" it over a Pokemon Silver rom file. What "patching" does is to change all kinds of data in the rom file so that that Pokemon Silver rom actually turns into Dark...

Hi, Glad to hear you have liked it! Unfortunately you're pretty much at the end of the current beta. At this point if you return to mystery woods (related to "wood" as mentioned by the archaelogists), the game tells you this as well. You can keep working on the remaining sidequests if you like...

Hi, There's not that much content there, but you can find that same zip file here.

Okay :) For me, life is good in general. I have yet to graduate, but I'm planning to finish my studies late this year. Been doing part-time work in a certain IT company for a few years, and I'll probably continue there as full-time software developer after graduation. Might take a look at other...
